Orientation

Antibes is easy to navigate between the port and the vieux ville, even though the streets can be poorly labeled and the helpful tourist arrows can sometimes lead you into a wall. The easiest way to orient yourself is along the town’s main streets: rue de la Republique and boulevard d’Aguillon. Both lead you right into the Vieux Ville, while offering totally different attractions along the way. Rue de la Republique is where you’ll find upscale restaurants and shopping, while the sleazy port crowd will hang out at the laid-back pubs that line bl. d’Aguillon. Unfortunately the Cap,where you’ll find secluded beaches and nicer hotels, is either a 20min. walk or a bus ride away. The #2 bus goes along the coast. Within the Vieux Ville, no matter where you turn you’ll almost always end up back at the Marche Provençale, a central square that sells fruits and vegetables during the day and turns into a flea market at night.
